Therapy is your safe space to explore the nitty gritty of what's holding you back from living your best life. It's where it all comes together—exploring your stressors, getting guidance to navigate your emotions, processing your lived experiences that have shaped you, and learning tools to tackle future challenges. The universe has bigger plans for you—and it’s got your back!
No more apologizing for being you and reclaiming your voice. Don’t be afraid to step into the darkness, it’s there we find deeper awareness, understanding, and answers. I’ll be there every step of the way as you navigate finding the torch that leads you out from the shadows. There is power within you, and *maybe* it’s blocked right now. You can access your internal wisdom and start learning to trust in your intuition again.
I’m a body-positive & identity-affirming therapist specializing with adults facing anxiety, body image issues, trauma, childhood wounding, relationship challenges, perfectionism, and women's issues.

I understand the unique challenges women face when dealing with anxiety and perfectionism. The overwhelming pressure to meet societal standards can be suffocating. The high expectations we place on ourselves, experiencing stress, and challenges with reigning in our brains from going to the worst case scenario. Our work together will center on empowering you to rewrite the narratives of self-doubt and replace them with affirming beliefs that honor your worthiness.

Let's be real...relationships aren't always easy. They require intention, communication, and consistent nurturing. In couples therapy, you'll be guided through meaningful conversations to better understand the barriers that prevent you from feeling truly connected. We'll dive into past wounds, discover new ways to communicate and express love, and develop skills to deepen intimacy and manage conflict more effectively.

Trauma can leave lasting thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and physical sensations, often taking up mental space long after your experiences. To address this, I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based treatment for trauma, anxiety, and depression. Rather than solely changing your thoughts or behaviors tied to the events, EMDR allows your brain to resume its natural healing process and resolving unprocessed memories to pave the way for recovery.

sand tray & expressive arts
The sandtray serves as a literal blank canvas, offering a unique way to access your unconscious and bring it into the present for processing during our sessions. Using miniatures and figurines, we can represent your inner world and explore it visually and symbolically. By incorporating sandtray and other expressive activities (like art, music, and games) we create a safe space for your *little you* to emerge and play. This approach creates a healthy distance from difficult experiences, so you can start to heal and connect with your inner child.
clinical supervision
For therapists seeking to grow their skills
Let’s get into the nitty-gritty that wasn’t covered in school (I should know - I'm a professor!) If you’re working in a clinical setting or higher level of care with the goal of running your own private practice one day, you’ve come to the right place! My guess is you're also interested in working with eating disorders or trauma—love that! I focus on offering clinical support and practical advice while also addressing the tough stuff—like finances, ethics, and how to run a business all from a relatable and down-to-earth gal who's been there too.
I Want to be supervised
clinical supervision
For therapists seeking to grow their skills
Supervision is offered for LPC-Associates in Texas working toward completing their clinical licensure. A total of 3,000 supervised hours is required, to be completed over a minimum of 18 months (which means, even if you finish your hours in less time, one is not eligible until the the 18 month mark).

clinical supervision
For therapists seeking to grow their skills
Supervision is currently offered virtually in a hybrid format of 1x/month group for 90-minutes and 3x/month individual sessions for 60-minutes each, totaling the required 4 hours. While there's a strong focus on case consultation, the topics we discuss are flexible & tailored to your needs. We'll cover the important stuff like ethics, new legislation, and social justice. Individual sessions are all about your development where we address all the things—boundaries, setting fees, marketing, self-care, etc. It's also the time I give individualized feedback, helping you build confidence and grow into your professional identity as a therapist.
I want to be supervised
As an educator and supervisor in Texas, I'm dedicated to nurturing the next generation of skilled counselors through relationally and systemic-focused supervision. My sessions provide a collaborative environment where LPC-Associates can hone their clinical skills, deepen their therapeutic insights, and build confidence in their practice. We'll focus on ethicals, effective interventions, and building a strong therapeutic alliance, ensuring you feel equipped to navigate complex client cases.
We’ll meet for a free 30-minute discovery call to see if we're a good fit and set clear expectations. This is an opportunity for me to answer your questions and share more about my supervision style and experience. Once we establish our supervisory relationship, I'll tailor our sessions to address your unique needs and goals. You’ll receive constructive feedback, case consultation, and a safe space for reflection to help you overcome challenges and refine your approach. My aim is to guide your professional development and personal growth, helping you become a compassionate, culturally competent, and effective counselor. It would be a privilege to support you on your path to licensure and long-term career success!

trauma
Sometimes traumatic events and distressing life experiences can cause thoughts, beliefs, images, emotions, and physical sensations to persist long after the threat has passed. It can keep us from having the mental space for other things. I utilize
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is an evidence-based treatment for trauma and other mental health symptoms like anxiety, depression, and grief/loss. Rather than focus on changing the thoughts or behaviors resulting from the distressing event, EMDR allows your brain to resume its natural healing process & resolve unprocessed memories.

The sandtray is a *literal* blank canvas. It allows you to access your unconscious and bring it forward into the here-and-now so we can process it in session. The miniatures and figurines help to represent what's going on in your inner world. By utilizing sandtray and other expressive activities (art, music, games, etc.), we can create the landscapes of our internal experience and allow space for our *little us* to come out and play. This creates a healthy distance so we can process difficult experiences and cultivate empowerment so you can start to heal.
Consultation sessions are designed to support mental health professionals in navigating complex cases, refining therapeutic skills, and broadening clinical perspectives. Whether you're a seasoned clinician or just starting out, I offer a laid back approach where we can present clinical cases, explore new interventions, and share valuable insights.
I bring a decade of experience across diverse populations, treatment settings, and therapeutic modalities. I'm familiar with ethical decision-making, integrative approaches, and helping you make informed & compassionate choices in your work with clients. I tailor each session to your specific needs, providing constructive feedback and fresh perspectives to ensure you're well-prepared to address your clients' unique challenges. My goal is to empower you with the tools and guidance needed to thrive in your practice and create a meaningful impact.
Looking for a clinician with expertise in eating disorders, weight bias, and integrating holistic practice ethically into psychotherapy? Well, you've found her! I’m so passionate about discussing all things mental health and have 8+ years of public speaking under my belt. Whether it’s in a classroom, an auditorium full of clinicians, or a news segment—pass me the mic and let’s let’s dive into the conversations that matter.
